Episode 53. make mud bricks
67th floor of the tower. There was swampland everywhere.
Gaegol, Gaegol.
Deep.
A lizardman hunter hit the head of a 1m tall frog with an arrow.
Kerukkeruk.
The Lizardman hunter, who succeeded in hunting big game for the first time in a long time, smiled happily. The 61st to 70th floors of the tower were the home of the Lizardmen, who lived in the swamp by catching and eating giant frogs and snakes.
At that time,
I had a blast.
A red grasshopper about 20cm in size sat on the carcass of a frog hunted by a lizardman hunter.
And
munching. munching.
The red grasshopper began to eat, cutting the frog’s skin with its huge jaws as if cutting it with scissors.
Keruk!
As soon as he touched his prey, a lizardman hunter came running and killed the red grasshopper with a dagger.
And
wow. wow.
He tore off a leg of a red grasshopper and put it in his mouth to taste it to see if it was okay to eat.
Kerukkeruk.
The lizardman hunter laughed happily, as if it tasted better than expected.
In the meantime
, food, food, food.
A few more red locusts flew in and started eating the corpses of the giant frog and its kin.
The red locusts were so preoccupied with eating that the lizardman hunter did not pay any attention to them, so the lizardman hunter easily hunted the red locusts.
But
food, food, food.
More red locusts flew in to eat the corpses of frogs and their relatives, and the number of red locusts increased to hundreds.
Keruk…
As the number of red locusts increased, the Lizardman hunter felt fear and was about to return home when the sky turned red.
Keruk?
When the Lizardman Hunter felt strange and looked up at the sky, he saw so many swarms of red locusts flying in the sky that the sun could not be seen.
At that time
, food, food, food.
About 100,000 red locusts broke away from the swarm and headed to the swamp where the Lizardman hunters were.
And after a while there was nothing left there.
***
The black rabbit sent piranha and crayfish into the net to prepare a meal as usual.
Today, at Kueng’s request that he wanted to eat his fill of eel, he carried the eel flesh into the net several times to show his brother’s dignity.
And as I was going down the water current again,
I heard a roar.
There was a small vibration and a sound.
Bye?
Let’s see where the black rabbit comes from,
eh?! What is that?
Green light flowed from the gap between the giant electric eel and the wall and then disappeared.
The black rabbit became curious and started cutting the body of the eel that was blocking the green light flowing wall.
And
slowly, slowly.
The harpoon cut the skin on the other side of the giant electric eel, creating a hole in the eel’s body
.
Green light came through the hole.
Then,
coo.
Bye!
With the vibration, the calm water flow suddenly became stronger and the black rabbit was sucked through the hole in the eel’s body.
But
it fluctuates.
The black rabbit’s legs got tangled in the net. I was truly fortunate. If it weren’t for the net, the black rabbit would have been instantly swept away by the water current.
Once the black rabbit confirmed that he was safe, he looked closely at the place emitting green light.
That?!
There was an underwater cave in the area that the giant electric eel was blocking with its body. Green light was flowing from beyond the underwater cave.
After a while, the water stopped flowing and the green light disappeared, and the black rabbit pulled the rope twice.
***
“Black rabbit!”
Sejun pulled the rope and pulled the black rabbit out with the net. I was worried a little while ago because of the strong pulling force on the rope.
Sejun hurriedly untied the legs of the black rabbit tied to the net and carefully placed the black rabbit on his palms.
Pfft…
[There is a cave below that leads to another place…]
The black rabbit in Sejun’s hand said in an exhausted state.
“cave?”
Bwaaak. Bwaak.
[yes. It’s an underwater cave with a green glow.]
“An underwater cave with a green glow? Eileen, do you know anything?”
Sejun asked Eileen, the tower manager.
[The tower manager says it is a passage connecting to the dimensional sea.]
“Dimensional sea?”
[The tower manager says that the towers are connected to each other through the dimensional sea.]
[The tower manager says that very scary underwater monsters live in the dimensional sea.]
[The tower manager says that if the black rabbit is in the dimensional sea, He says he would have lost his life if he had been caught in it.]
“Was there such a thing?”
At Aileen’s words, Sejun thought it was fortunate that the black rabbit returned safely.
So, we ate the seafood that the black rabbit risked his life to bring for lunch.
Kueng!
Kueng held the whole piece of eel flesh and chewed it. Thank you, brother!
Bye!
The black rabbit coolly gave a thumbs up. I told you to trust only my brother.
He was a black rabbit who had just almost died, but his brother’s dignity was more important.
After lunch, I took a break with the black rabbit Kuengi and improved my skill in making dark clouds.
And when I came down to harvest the cherry tomatoes in the cave,
“Huh?!”
Splash, splash.
The pond was overflowing with aquatic monsters. As the body of the giant electric eel blocking the underwater cave disappeared and the water began to flow properly, it flowed in through the underwater cave connected to the dimensional sea.
Bye!
The black rabbit jumped into the pond, excited by the appearance of the piranha, which would provide experience and protein.
And
“This bastard… Nice to meet you!!!”
There was also a new monster in the pond. It had a pointed end like a rocket, an elongated body the size of an forearm, and ten legs.
Black rabbit nice! Sejun also rushed into the pond and caught a new monster.
[The squid was killed.]
[3 experience points were obtained.]
Today’s lunch is boiled squid and stir-fried squid!
Sejun thought that a very scary underwater monster might mean something more delicious to eat. I became interested in a place called the Dimensional Sea. A sea full of all kinds of rare and delicious fish.
But
“it’s difficult right now.”
Going out into the dimensional sea required thorough preparation. Sejun focused on catching squid, promising to do it later.
***
[There is a new notification.]
“King?”
Eileen, who was watching to see if Sejun might say he was going to the dimensional sea, clicked on the ominous red notification that appeared on the crystal ball screen.
[5,312,813,712 Red Locusts have invaded the 67th floor of the tower.]
“Red Locusts?!”
Eileen was very surprised when she saw the alarm. The last time the Locust invaded the tower was almost 100 years ago. And at that time, grandfather solved the problem for Eileen, who couldn’t leave the tower’s administrator’s office.
“What do we do?”
Eileen’s abilities could not open the passage connected to the outside of the tower.
When Eileen was in trouble
[0.01% of the 67th floor of the tower was devastated by the Red Locusts.]
…
..
.
[1.2% of the 67th floor of the tower was devastated by the Red Locusts.]
The alarm appeared quickly. The Red Locusts that had invaded the 67th floor of the tower were devouring everything alive.
***
Day 218 of the shipwreck.
“It would be nice to have some red pepper paste or mayonnaise.”
Squishy squishy.
Sejun chewed semi-dried grilled squid and spoke in a wistful voice.
After the underwater cave connected to the dimensional ocean was opened, piranhas and squid have overflowed the pond.
And Sejun made semi-dried squid by sewing the caught squid with pie leaves. After dried roasted sweet potatoes, a new snack was created.
“how is it?”
Sejun asked, looking at the architect rabbit examining the soggy mud. Sejun was currently touring the Black Minotaur territory with the black rabbit architect Rabbit.
Beep beep!
Architect Rabbit nodded. This is enough!
Even though Sejun was busy with farming, the reason he came to the Black Minotaur area was because of the mud.
When Sejun stopped by here before, he looked at the mud and was thinking about making mud bricks, but when the architect Rabbit joined him, he decided to make mud bricks in earnest.
“good.”
Sejun filled the brick mold made by the wooden craftsman Rabbit with mud. I got the tree by asking my mom, Crimson Giant Bear.
I asked my mother, Crimson Giant Bear, for a tree, and the next day, she brought me two trees almost as thick as Sejun’s body. It was strange that the inside of the tree was dark red like blood, but the gray rabbits said it was a good tree.
After
filling the brick mold, I removed the overflowing mud with my hands and made it flat.
Then, when I removed the brick mold, I
shouted.
The mud maintained its shape and a square mud brick was created. Now all we have to do is dry the mud bricks until they become hard. Mud bricks were made very easily.
“Should we just make about 100,000 copies first?”
Sejun casually told me the number he could make by working for dozens of days. It was natural. Because it’s not something you make yourself.
There was a lot of surplus labor around, clumping mud and stuffing it into their mouths, so there was no need to do it yourself.
Sejun made a new deal with Umawang to supply mud bricks in exchange for pies. Since I had already made a large brick mold for the Black Minotaurs to use, I decided to send it to the Black Minotaurs on their way home after finishing work today.
“What should I make first?”
Sejun returned to the cave, happily imagining what he could build with bricks, as if he were playing Minecraft.
And when I ate grilled fish and stir-fried squid for lunch and was about to start work in the afternoon,
“Ah!”
Sejun remembered that he did not plant Taeyang’s pumpkin sweet potatoes.
“We need to plant and harvest cherry tomatoes quickly.”
Sejun went to the storage room to pick up the sun’s pumpkin sweet potatoes that he had harvested.
But
“Huh?! Where has everyone gone?”
There weren’t any of Taeyang’s pumpkin sweet potatoes stored in the storage.
***
The rooftop of the Korean Awakened Association building built right next to the Black Tower. Two sturdy men were looking down on downtown Gangnam.
“Phew. Who was the force that contacted Park Se-jun’s family?”
Association President Han Tae-jun exhaled cigarette smoke and asked his first student, Cha Si-hyuk.
“A total of 23 countries, including the United States, Japan, and China, are monitoring Park Se-jun’s family. Among them, I quietly dealt with the people from three countries who attempted to kidnap him.”
“Good job. Is it time for Dongsik to escort you?”
“yes.”
“Tell Dongsik to stop by with me when you change shifts.”
Tae-Jun Han was planning to have Dong-Sik Kim run an errand for the magical cherry tomatoes.
Eating the magic cherry tomatoes that Kim Dong-sik gave me increased my magic power, making it a little easier to overcome the curse of flames, making it easier to do outdoor activities.
And above all, it was delicious.
“yes.”
As we were talking like that for about 10 minutes, a burning sound was heard from
Taejun
Han’s fingers and blisters began to form on his hands, resembling burns.
“Ugh! Damn it. This damn curse…”
“Master, are you okay?!”
“What kind of fuss is this? Stop going in.”
“Yes.”
Cha Si-hyuk looked sadly at his teacher Han Tae-jun going down the rooftop. Still, he used to be able to be active outside for about an hour, but now even 20 minutes is difficult.
“There must be a way!”
Cha Si-hyuk decided that he would find a way to break his teacher’s curse.
***
“Why are you here?”
Theo, who was sitting on Elka’s back and checking his luggage, looked embarrassed when he saw the sun’s pumpkin sweet potatoes glowing inside the luggage. Sejun said that he would definitely plant Taeyang’s pumpkin sweet potatoes.
It seemed like it was probably included when putting sweet potatoes in the bag without even thinking about it.
“Representative Te, what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing! There’s no problem!”
Theo quickly answered Elka’s question.
‘I can’t show my subordinates any loopholes! I’m the perfect representative of TE!’
While Theo was thinking about what to do with the Sun’s Pumpkin Sweet Potato, Elka entered the entrance to the merchant passage leading from the 60th floor to the 50th floor.
